Ever wonder what's in Fracking Fluid? [View all]

Even the people drilling the Wells wonder. In fact, they really don't know exactly, that's why it's a secret formula that they won't divulge.

This past Weekend, I had the chance to talk with an Engineer that works in the Petroleum Industry. We got on the subject of Fracking and why the Oil Companies won't divulge the formula." It's Refinery Waste" he told me. The nasty leftovers from refining Crude Oil into Gasoline and other useful products. It's the dregs that are too toxic, expensive to process or burn off that need to be disposed of somewhere. Those Gas Wells are not much more than sites for disposal. One of these Days, those toxins are going to migrate into the Water Table and poison a lot of people. Big Oil doesn't care, They paid off the Politicians who then passed Laws that grant them Immunity with no requirements for disclosure.

We have been Fucked in the worst possible way.
